I have another option. I learned how to convert Publisher files before sending them. Select "Print" from the File menu. Under printers there should be an option of Adobe PDF. It will convert the file for you and save a draft to your computer instead of printing it out. Worked like a charm first time I used it. Hello all! I have another option.

It was just a nuisance to have to spend a fortune to buy the Adobe program to do it (which I did, malgré moi...). I'm delighted to see some free alternatives, like Primo PDF (which I have now adopted). Perhaps having lost the monopoly on PDF creation will have Adobe reconsidering their pricing. Well, I can alway dream!

Five minutes later they have CutePDF installed. Jamie It amazes me how many businesses say we need the Adobe suite because they want to produce a PDF of Word document or a Publisher file.

I've always felt that PDF was a quirky file format just barely hanging on; however, after hearing of your recent experience and finding out about this particular free service, I'll have to rethink my view of PDF.

It's one of the better file conversion systems as it converts many many many formats to many other formats. PDF is in there, but so is doc, rtf, xls, htm and loads of others including, audio, video, and image files. That's enough of an advertisement I think :) It's pretty goo though so worth a quick peek I think. To add to the ever growing list of services, I mentioned Zamzar last year.

Mac OS has "print to PDF" built in, but, of course, you have to be able to open the file in the first place. I'm surprised to hear that people are still using MS Office for things like Word doc's--why not Google? It's free. Great tool, David.
